It was the most affordable DVD player. I think Sony owned patents on some DVD player tech? Same with PS4/5 and Blu Ray if I'm remembering correctly

(clicks link) time to get /sad/ about being a SEGA fan again. More seriously I wish some of the old consoles were officially opened because the absolute install base of PS1 and NES compatible hardware must be insane. Indie NES games specifically have become popular lately, but I don't think any of the 3D capable consoles are popular or open targets.

It's been pretty easy to buy a 3090 for a while now, and the rest of the 30 series is finally starting to stabilize thankfully

The products don't get produced in order. The high value products get priority and continuously bump out low value chips like those on the RPI. Not sure what the cost of this Grace chip is but it looks to be targeting high value users so it gets priority. Notice how there is no shortage of chips for iPhones, because Apple just buys the capacity at whatever cost it takes.

I know which SKUs I would be prioritising.
heh, does Intel have any chance to catch up? They fell so far behind.
Of course they have a chance to catch up. Only a fool would count Intel down & out. Intel is still larger by revenue than AMD, NVidia, and ARM combined. This will probably cost them some market share, but they have plenty of cash to weather there current manufacturing issues, they still have world-class CPU design talent which they've proven over and over and over again, and they have some very interesting products &…

Arm has a much more efficient and also much less profitable business model, and Intel will never catch up unless they adopt it. They'll never do that so they'll fade away like IBM.

Err sorry, I thought we were talking about the Apple M1 as in another comment subthread here, but that wasn't this one actually. But my point still stands I think, isn't this CPU designed by Nvidia, also just with an ARM-licensed ISA? Similarly AMD you mentioned in your list shares its ISA with Intel, and yet the CPUs are completely different.
The CPU is custom but the cores are off-the-shelf Arm cores.
